Le Passé
Composé
The past
tense in French is very basic when used with regular -er verbs. You take a subject + verb, such as “Je nage”
and you change it to be “I have swum” – “J’ai nagé.” You always use a conjugation of “avoir” with
the pronoun.
ex:
Je nage --> J’ai nagé
Tu nages --> Tu as nagé
Il nage --> Il a nagé
On nage --> On a nagé
Nous nageons --> Nous avons nagé
Vous nagez --> Vous avez nagé
Ils nagent --> Ils ont nagé
1. Write the “nager” example above in
your NOTES.
2. Now please tell me 3 things you did
over the past weekend in the past tense, using the
following verbs only:
regarder, skier, danser, parler,
visiter, voyager, travailler, acheter, aimer, chercher, étudier, écouter,
donner, jouer, manger, laver, ranger
*DO NOT
REPEAT ANY EXACT SENTENCE YOU SEE IN THE COMMENTS. If you see a sentence that says, “j’ai dansé,”
you may only use that if you change it, as well: “j’ai dansé à Preference avec
mon petit ami.”
